My kids are totally crazy about this cinnamon toast. They honestly can’t get enough…in fact, I am too. I could eat endless amounts of this stuff…so it’s a good thing it isn’t piled on with butter and sugar like what I used to devour growing up. If you love cinnamon toast like us, try this lighter alternative that your body will love as well.

Toast some bread (we like honey wheat)
while its hot, spread some coconut oil
sprinkle some salt (to get the salty butter effect, if you wish)
Squirt some honey
sprinkle some powered cinnamon.

We love dipping our warm cinna-triangles in cold milk…ahh, its one of my favorite breakfasts!

Chocolate Eclair Pancakes: It had to happen. Where the best breakfast food and best dessert collide into an explosion of irresistible flavor and happiness. I was having me some pancakes with some vanilla pudding sauce one day and this surge of genius told me: “Whoa. Make this an ECLAIR pancake with just a few extra touches” And this is what I came up with:

For the Pancake
Use your favorite pancake mix or recipe. This is my fav and what I used. It’s a modified version of this blueberry pancake recipe:

Make your filling by beating eggs and milk in a sauce pan add sugar, salt and cook over medium heat while stirring continually. Boil for one minute, (keep a stirrin) mixture will thicken. Remove from heat and throw in your butter and vanilla and stir till smooth and thick.

Melt chocolate chips in microwave for 1 minute, stir and microwave again for 30 more seconds. Sir until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons butter and stir until melted, nuke for 30 more seconds in microwave if needed. Add 4-6 tablespoons hot water (hot water from tap works fine) depending on desired dizzling consistency.

Putting it together:

Grab a pancake, slice it in half length wise, plop a generous amount of pudding filling between the slices. Drizzle chocolate on top using a spoon (or snip corner of plastic ziploc bag, fill with chocolate and drizzle away for way better drizzles than shown in picture) and top with berries if desired. Dig in!!
